Assign a partition during consumer rebalance: A stale rebalance overwrites a newer assignment · case 04

The partition rebalance operation is admitted even though a stale rebalance overwrites a newer assignment.

Case contract

Return a Boolean admission decision for assign a partition during consumer rebalance. The record r must satisfy all of: r['revocation_complete'] is True; r['assignment_epoch'][0] > r['assignment_epoch'][1]; r['checkpoint_available'] is not None; r['subscription_match'][0] in r['subscription_match'][1]; r['capacity_limit'][0]+r['capacity_limit'][1] <= r['capacity_limit'][2]. Extra tracing fields are ignored; validation does not mutate the record.

Why this case matters

A deterministic local contract for queues. Each negative fixture violates exactly one invariant. No transport timing, persistence, cryptographic verification, or full protocol implementation is claimed.

One recorded failure

Sample boundary fixture

This sample comes from the broken implementation of a controlled reproducer.

A stale rebalance overwrites a newer assignment	`true`	`false`	Failed
